Relationship Counselling |
Maintaining a healthy relationship is a life-long commitment. Regardless of our age or life experience, relationships will continue to challenge us throughout our lives and every relationship will have its own unique set of issues to deal with along the way. Like anything of value, relationships need to be looked after and to do this both parties need to be committed and available.
There are a great many factors that can send a relationship into crisis. The most common are when:- The trust in the relationship has been shattered by an affair or a violation of boundaries
- There is a growing lack of respect
- There is unresolved conflict that persists and affects the quality of the relationship
- Difficult conversations are avoided there is no effective communication to resolve problems
- There is a loss of loving feelings or diminished desire between partners
- There is a lack of commitment to keep the relationship a priority
- There is an inequality of power where one person feels controlled in the relationship
- There is abuse in the relationship (please click on this link for further help and information)
Counselling can help you to identify your own areas of concern as well as offer tools that can help you develop skills to improve the communication, health and vitality of your relationship. If both parties are willing to accept responsibility for their part in the problem and work towards change, it is possible to come out at the other side with a stronger, more fulfilling relationship.
Counselling can also help with difficult life transitions after relationships have ended.
